ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information, Broadcasting, National History and Literary Heritage Syed Ali Zafar Tuesday said there was huge potential of cooperation between Thailand and Pakistan in various areas, particularly in the fields of culture, heritage and tourism.

The minister, in a meeting with a media delegation from the Kingdom of Thailand here, said the bond between the two countries was deeply rooted in their rich and ancient cultures, and Gandhara civilization and Buddhist heritage could play a vital role in promoting friendship between the two countries. Safe , secure and Peaceful Pakistan is ideal for religious and adventure tourism, he added.

He said apart from cultural ties, both the countries were cooperating with each other in the field of defence and hoped that bilateral relations would further elevate with enhanced interactions, both at people and state levels.

He said Pakistan had successfully waged the war against terrorism and had eliminated the menace to a great extent. The sacrifices rendered by its security forces and the people in the war against terrorism were unparalleled and world must acknowledge it, he added.
